I swear I heard him say he would run as an “individual Democrat” when he first announced it, not as an independent. Anyone else hear that, too?

Yvonne — Joe has created a 3rd party called “Connecticut for Lieberman” and is running on that new, artificial ticket. He is not running as a legal “independent” — on voting machines, parties (including his) are listed higher than single, individual independents are.

Err, I don’t think that’s right. I looked at the CT election law a while back when he was creating his “party” and he only has the pseudo-party because CT requires it. If my reading is correct, there aren’t actual individual independents in CT, just “parties” like Joe’s. I think he would have preferred it to just say “Independent” next to his name, if he could.

Wasn’t Lieberman’s original plan to call his party the “Independent Democratic” party? (Or something similar?)

I for one don’t mind the word HACK being associated with Lieberman. I think it fits pretty well. When his Republican buddies kicked Clinton to the curb over the Lewinsky affair, Joe stepped into the well of the Senate and gave Clinton his own kick to the nads, just like the bully toady he is. There’s the Senator’s party loyalty. He’s not a Democrat, he’s not a Republican. He’s an opportunist. He claims “parisan politics” is what’s wrong with Washington, but the voters know better. Entrenched power with an arrogant sense of entitlement is what’s wrong with Washington. Senators govern at the will of the governed. You’ve had eighteen years to do it your way, Joe. Time to step aside and give someone else a chance. But no, Joe wasn’t hacked, he is a hack and he is finally earning the title: Sore Loserman.</p> I see Joe brings the same profound understanding of the internet as Ted Stevens.

I had two at 21 hours each–dau/married one and son. They had better make it worthwhile with their life accomplishments, that’s all I can say.

Ah. The guy next door stopped with the chain saw. Didn’t realize there were so many things to cut. Parallel w annoying bush cutting?

I stayed home and raised these lovely children for fourteen years. No regrets. Now have the time and opportunity to help children in other countries.
